Kilauea Crater Hawaii Volcano USGS Topographic Map 1983

$44

This USGS 7.5-minute topographic map is a 1981 edition, printed in 1983, in good condition and never folded. It takes in Kilauea Crater within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, along with part of the Hawaii Volcanoes Wilderness and the community of Volcano, in the uplands about 24 miles southwest of Hilo. Drawn from aerial and field survey work spanning 1954 through 1981, the map traces the paths of earlier lava flows across an active volcanic zone at a 20-foot contour interval. The map area is flawless, with wear confined to the right collar, where there are minor edge tears and moderate handling wear.
